Re: How do I see what Time Machine just backed up?
I changed the exclusion to only the TechTool subdirectory within the Application Support directory. Thanks for this suggestion.

Only eliminate the *ONE* directory in Application Support that is causing trouble. Otherwise, every other app may have problems on restore. --- Entertaining minecraft videos http://YouTube.com/keybounce ___ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
Re: How do I see what Time Machine just backed up?
Hi Arno, Thank you very much. This is exactly what I was looking for. I was hoping there was a fairly simple command line tool that I could use. I compared two snapshot paths and I believe I found the culprit. I have TechTool software installed. I did not realize it, but apparently it was doing a Directory Backup to save "valuable directory structure information" every 4 hours. Time Machine was backing up the TechTool Protection directory in /Library/Application Support, which apparently involved over 2-GB of changes. I have now excluded the /Library/Application Support directory, so hopefully that will solve my problem. I hope this does not create any new problems by not backing up the /Library/Application Support directory.

Re: How do I see what Time Machine just backed up?
You can also use the command line "tmutil compare". Provide either two snapshot paths to compare or it'll compare the drive to the latest snapshot.

How do I see what Time Machine just backed up?
Hi, I was looking at the Time Machine panel in System Preferences and it was time for a backup, so I left it open and watched. It had supposedly done a backup just an hour ago and yet it backed up another 2.7 GB of files, even though I don't remember doing anything in the last hour (other than having breakfast). Is there a (simple) way to see what was recently backed up in Time Machine? I'm curious.
